Multiparty Mediation in Violent ConflictPeacemaking Diplomacy in the Tajikistan Civil War\nAuthor(s): Tetsuro Iji\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367333607, 978-0367333607\nSynopsis\nThis book presents a conceptual and empirical analysis of the UN-led multiparty mediation in the Tajikistan conflict.\n\nMultiparty mediation has been a significant research topic of international conflict management since the 1990s, but in-depth case studies on the peacemaking dynamics of violent conflicts are rare, particularly in regard to third-party roles. This volume addresses that gap in the literature by examining the multiparty mediation of the Tajikistan conflict, a largely forgotten but notably successful case of UN-orchestrated peacemaking in the post-Cold War era. It argues that several interrelated factors contributed to the \""success\"" of the Tajik multiparty mediation: Russia, Iran, and other major interveners shared.
